Every year, children walk into Nebraska’s courts feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of what will happen next. The room is unfamiliar. The adults are serious. Everything feels uncertain.

The Case for Toys equips judges with thoughtfully prepared Cases they can use to create moments of trust and connection with the children who appear before them. A small toy or comfort item can create a moment of calm, helping a child feel seen, supported, and less alone.

This simple gesture can help ease fear, build trust, and give a child a moment of comfort in a stressful situation.

Your gift helps create moments of joy, comfort, dignity, and connection so children in court know they are seen, safe, and valued.
